The Universe is Full of Love

There is so much love in the world.

I am convinced.  And it really hasn't taken a lot of work to convince me.  It's only really taken a moment and a shift in vibration and something like a little light turning on - maybe around me, maybe inside me - that links in and connects and just resonates.  Not like a gong and not like a lighthouse or a lantern but a resonance, a vibration, just this change in feeling and the thickness of the air, like moving into the beauty and shadow of the tress in the forest and feeling the moisture on your skin.

Like fireflies.

And it's funny, because I recognize that there is a part of me that thinks that love should be more work.  That it's something that I have to generate from inside me and that is received from some invisible engine inside someone else.  And what I realize now is that love - while sometimes love does come from inside a person, one for another - it's also something that's universal and tangible and real, as real as molecules and electrons and the cells in our body, and we are just swimming in it every day.

It's all around us.  The world is full of so much love.

And to me, that's why our words affect the vibration of water.  And that's why our words affect the growth of plants.  And that's why our touch and our presence and our thoughts and what we project into the world matter so much.

It's an extension of "what we think, we become."

But it's more than that.

It's our words and our thought and our touch and our presence activating those molecules, and each molecule activating another molecule, and another, and another, and another, until all of those love molecules and electrons that are swimming around us connect and touch and light up.

Like fireflies at dusk in June.

And all of a sudden the universe is lit up.  And you realize that love is all around.

And there's a chain that just keeps going.

Until the whole thickness of the air changes and you realize that love really is all around.  We're swimming in it, in all these molecules of love. The universe is full of love, just there to touch and be a part of.

Just say yes, and one little light brightens.  One little firefly that's been there all along.  One yes to love and the veil falls away and the great expanse of all that's possible in this vast and loving universe brightens. 

It's right there next to you.  One breath to start a chain reaction of love and firelight.
